SRK's 'Raees' Lands In Trouble In Madhya Pradesh Because Of A Comment He Made Two Years Ago

Wah India!

Shah Rukh Khan's just released movie 'Raees' was well prepared to face trouble. In fact, SRK went and met MNS chief Raj Thackeray days ahead of the release to ensure there is no disruption.

However, that was not to be.

On the first day of the release, members of a right wing group tried to stop screening of the movie in Madhya Pradesh theatres. According to reports, members of Hindu Seva Parishad took to streets and burned posters of the lead actor.

So, why were they protesting? Apparently because they are still upset with SRK and his comment on 'intolerance' that he made in 2015.

Heavy police forces deployed outside Samdaria and South Avenue Mall averted protesters' attempts to barge into the mall, reports say. According to reports, the police arrested several demonstrators even as the protests continued.

Two days back, BJP national general secretary Kailash Vijayavargiya, without naming Shah Rukh Khan, tweeted, "Jo Raees Desh Ka Nahin, Woh Kisi Ka Nahin" (Raees who couldn't be of his own country is of no good). In the same tweet, he supported Hrithik-starrer 'Kaabil' saying, "Aur 'Kaabil' Desh Bhakt ka saath hum sab ko dena chaiye" (And we all should support `"Kaabil" who is patriotic).
